When I heard of the new Tarantino movie coming out, I honestly felt excited. It doesn’t often happen that Hollywood blesses us with a film set in the ’70s. Especially coming from someone like Tarantino, I expected to be wowed by everything, especially the costumes and the set design (hello $96 million budget). But I left the cinema a bit unsatisfied. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoyed it, but something was missing. At times I could almost forget that the movie was set in 1969. It just seemed so contemporary?

This made me naturally think of my favourite movies set in the ’60s and ’70s. Some are just good, some have a great aesthetic, and some are just classics. So here’s a list of what every 1970’s fan should tick off their watchlist.

And what are your favourite movies set in 1970’s?
